Storytelling Photography for Families

Documentary Family Sessions

My mission as a photographer is to help you to document and embrace the love you have for your family. I specialize in documentary photo sessions, where the focus is more about connecting with your family than connecting with the camera.

Family sessions can take place right in your own home, or anywhere your family loves to spend time together. If you’re not sure where to take photos, I’d be happy to help you figure out the right location for you. Choosing a place or activity that will help put big, beautiful, authentic smiles on your faces is more important to me than beautiful scenery.

Newborn Photo Sessions

I approach newborn photo sessions the same way I approach family sessions, with a focus on the connection between you, your new baby, and the rest of the family. Rather than using artificial poses or trendy props, I prefer to capture images of your baby in their own environment (which you have lovingly spent so much time preparing!) Of course, I would be happy to incorporate any special items you might have as well (like the adorable little hat that Aunt Susie knit.)

I am also available to document your journey into motherhood with a maternity photo session or by photographing the birth (whether it takes place at home or in the hospital). If you aren’t quite sure about having photos of the actual birth, there is also the option to simply photograph the first days of your baby’s life before you leave the hospital. Contact me for more information.

Birthday Party Photography

For your child’s birthday, the best present you can give your child is to be fully present, not watching from behind your cell phone. Free yourself from taking photos so you can be IN the photos with your family, and enjoy spending time with your guests. Besides, after all that party planning, you deserve a break!

(Also available for family reunions, anniversary parties, and other celebrations.)
